Obituary
Joe E. Boydston, 67, life-long resident of Avondale, Arizona died July 13, 2022. He was born September 29, 1954 in Phoenix to Donald Boydston and Barbara Forstner.
He is survived by his sons Jacob and Jared; grandchildren Arianna, Jackson, and Juliette; sisters Sue, Linda, June, and Bille; and brother Jim.
Joe served three years in the U.S. Navy as a submariner. His commanding officer encouraged Joe to reenlist, saying he could use more discipline. Joe declined. He unapologetically lived life his way as a free spirit. On the darkest days for family and friends, Joe was there to help, never expecting anything in return. Joe maintained childhood friendships for life and was just plain fun.
Joe’s wishes were for no funeral service.

Blessings and peace to the family. Joe was one of the “hot” guys in high school. Those beautiful blue eyes and those blond curls! All the girls loved him. He was always kind and caring, every time I saw him. I saw him at a “high school gig” at Old Pueblo a couple of years ago, he walked up to me and, with that beautiful smile said “you don’t know who I am, do you?” I hugged him and said “who could forget you, Joe?” Here’s wishing I had spent more time with him, talked to him more, visited more often. He was a great friend…a free spirit? Yes! But he was always happy. I hope many of his family and friends have some very fond memories of him, as I do…

I already miss him so much. I was lucky enough to reunite with him a few years back I spent his last birthday with him, eating his favorite mexican food last September. I went back to Az in March and spent a few more weeks with him and Sue. He truly was a great “big” brother. I thank God for the time we had and as an old cliche, I know he is in a better place. I miss you Joe!
